Why Come To REBlogWorld? Meet Famous People.
Ok, I admit it.
I am an expert on REBlogWorld.
Well, I guess I am about as much of an expert as you can be after going to one.
So since I am a self-proclaimed expert… I thought I would post a few things that made my REBlogWorld experience worth it and why you will find me hanging around in the crowd again this year.
Why Come To REBlogWorld? Meet Famous People.
In the RE.net world, there are “famous” people — and chances are you know who these people are, what they do and where they live. I will give you a few hints about just a few of them…
- The hottie in Miami who claims to have patented the Mojito.
- The professional photographer in Minnesota.
- The princess in San Diego.
- The cape wearing super hero in Tucson.
- The Zebra in Virgina.
- The guy who hangs out with the Head Mutha.
- The 2 super tall guys who work for the giant online RE sites.
- The guy who everyone always refers to as X.
- The GUY from Phoenix.
Sure, these people (and many more) are all “famous” in the RE.net space. These famous people are actually human. You know them because you read them, love them and can relate to them. You love them because they are able to articulate many of the same joys, pains, successes and failures that you have because they all have the same day job you do: working in the Real Estate industry.
Being famous is only their night job.
Just a guess — but I am guessing that most of the above famous people will probably come to REBlogWorld and you will probably feel like you are at the Oscar Awards of Real Estate.
But these are not the famous people that I am referring to.
I am referring to the really famous people.
You know, the ones that you read about on Tech Crunch. Or see on the cover of VC Weekly because he started some company called WordPress. Heck, last year at REBlogWorld, I even ran into Justin Timberlake in the hallway and asked him for an autograph.
Wait.
I take that back.
I ran into a guy I thought was Justin Timberlake in the hallway only to have him tell me after I asked him to sign my cab receipt he was just another dot-com-CEO kid with an entourage. As he talked with an accent and flipped me his business card I couldn’t help but have 2 thoughts:
- His company couldn’t be too legit because his business card looked like he printed it out at Kinko’s
- He couldn’t be all that smart because brains and lady-killer looks don’t get together in one human being very often
And after our brief encounter, I figured I wouldn’t ever see him again — only to find out the next morning from one of the panel speakers at BlogWorld that the guy who I still had his Kinko’d-out business card in my pocket was the CEO of a little outfit named Mashable - and earlier in the week had raised $50,000 on Twitter for digging a well for kids in Africa in one day.
Will you meet famous people at REBlogWorld?
Yep.
And you might be surprised who you bump into in the hallway from outside the RE.net thanks to the fact that REBlogWorld just happens to be happening in conjunction with BlogWorld — where the real famous people go.

Don’t forget the “Blue Shirt Guy.” He is pretty famous, too. (for a mortgage guy)
Also people from outside the USA as well. Trying to get the ball rolling south of the border and further out of the Atlantic ocean as well.
See you all at the event.
Watch out for the Harley Chic from Phoenix too!
